Walmart plans to make the holiday season easier and more affordable for shoppers by conveniently providing them all they might need, including a $35 meal basket that can feed up to 10 people.
Thanksgiving dinner at an affordable price
According to a Nov. 12 announcement from Walmart, the retailer’s $35 Thanksgiving meal basket includes ingredients for a traditional holiday meal that serves up to 10 people. The basket is intended to help shoppers prepare a traditional Thanksgiving spread, with ingredients for classic side dishes.
The basket can be added to shoppers’ online cart with a simple click and can be delivered or picked up in store. Fees may apply when choosing delivery, raising the price of the basket.
Walmart is also highlighting appetizers and prepared side dishes from its private-label food brand, bettergoods, as options for holiday gatherings.
The ready-made snacks come in a variety of assortments and offer shoppers plenty of options when choosing what snacks to bring to the table.
“You don’t have to make everything from scratch to put together a spread your guests will love,” said Denise Wright, vice president of private brands for food, Walmart.
Convenience and affordability all in one place
Walmart is also making strides to make decor more affordable and readily available by putting it all in one place for shoppers to find.
Walmart’s holiday tabletop assortment page makes it easy for shoppers to pick and choose what style they want to bring to the table this holiday season. You can expect to find everything from dinnerware to candle holders here.
With so many options to choose from shoppers can expect to make their tabletop and decor feel unique.
“Mixing patterns, textures, colors, and styles creates a more personal, collected look that feels both current and inviting,” said Erica Brandon, director of visual merchandising and styling at Walmart.
Walmart is also preparing shoppers for last minute gift giving by providing Walmart’s top toys list. Shoppers can browse and shop the latest and most popular toys for kids of all ages.
With all these resources readily available online, Walmart is aiming to make Thanksgiving more affordable and easier to navigate this holiday season.
From a $35 meal basket to the latest toys, Walmart is aiming to be a one stop shop.
